Drinks To Keep You Cool

To improve on a beverage that tastes great, make it fun to drink, too. Try serving punch in a mason jar, a frozen yogurt drink in a sundae dish or a fruit smoothie in a parfait glass. Add a curly straw, a colorful plastic stirrer or a mini paper parasol {available at most party stores for under Rs50($1)}.

1 cup orange juice
4 scoops vanilla frozen yogurt

Combine the orange juice and frozen yogurt in a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy. Serves 1.
